I propose to take Questions Nos. 349 to 351, inclusive, together.
Under the 2016-2021 Capital Plan as published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, a capital envelope of over €314 million was provided for sports facilities over seven years to cover both local and national level sports facilities, including swimming pools. This includes €21 million for completion of Phase I of the National Indoor Arena and €30 million stimulus funding for Pairc Ui Chaoimh.
Details of all payments and allocations under the Sports Capital Programme (SCP) and the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme since the commencement of the Capital Plan in 2016 are available on my Department's website at www.dttas.ie. Due to the nature and large number of sports projects funded under the Programmes it is not possible to provide anticipated completion dates for them.
